***Things I'm thinking about...Planning for next year. I keep thinking I am going to start and then other things come up and I don't. This week I hope to make a list of books we need for Rose for Sonlight Core A. We own a lot of them already, so I will not be buying a Core package. We also have a great local used book sale coming up in a couple of weeks and I am hoping to find some of the books used.
***Barn & garden happenings...Still boiling. I think we have made a little over a gallon of syrup now. I need to divide my kale seedlings this week. The baby lettuce plants are doing well and hopefully will go out to the cold frame in a couple of weeks, weather permitting.
***In our kitchen... Stone soup with Rose this week and some Vietnamese cooking for Christopher's Vietnam project for Core F.
***
In our homeschool...Rose and I are working our way through the Magic School Bus Dinosaur Kit. I ordered GEMS Life Through Time and it is supposed to come this week- I am excited to sit down and look it over!
***Creating... My cowl was coming along nicely until I realized that I knit two rows back-to-back, creating a noticeable funkiness in the pattern. Sigh. Now I have to figure out if I should try ripping it back a few rows to fix it (but it's a ton of stitches and I am afraid to do it) or just live with it (but I want it to look good!). I really hate knitting mistakes.
***A few plans for the week ahead... Warmer temps, I hope. A field trip to the sugar shack. A trip to the movies to see Muppets Most Wanted. Putting up a few Easter decorations, maybe. Making some maple sugar candy.
***And another birthday come and gone....Time goes by so very quickly.
Enjoy your week!
We used the purple version of that candle here this weekend! Hope it warms up for you this week :)
